Overview
- The free Extended Operations update went live Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, on all platforms and is available immediately to every 007 First Light player.
- New Game+ is unlocked after a first completed playthrough and lets players replay the campaign with all unlocked outfits and gadgets retained while also granting access to the new '00' difficulty.
- The '00' difficulty makes encounters far harder by speeding enemy reactions, swapping in tougher guard types, restricting gadget use in line of sight, imposing two‑hit kills and tighter parry and side‑step timing.
- Extended Operations adds new playable content including the Valhalla Protocol driving TacSim (four timed Valhalla missions in the Slovakian mountains), a Jungle Heist mission at The Pearl in Vietnam, Photo Mode, online leaderboards, two new weapons and three new outfits plus cosmetic rewards like the MI6 mascot bulldog Jack.
- Labeled Update 1.3.0, the patch delivers over 700 fixes and improvements that target crashes, progression blockers and weapon‑handling animation fidelity; the release continues IO Interactive’s pattern of generous free post‑launch support even as Amazon’s 2025 purchase of the Bond IP leaves future publishing roles for sequels unresolved.
